DJ Armstrong Jr. has had an unconventional basketball journey: JUCO, Division II, Division I, and now a participant at the G League Combine.

Listen here for my exclusive interview with DJ, where he breaks down his come-up and why that gives him an edge.

[Jim Ferry @CoachJimFerry]

So great to be able to watch DJ compete at the NBA G-League Combine. As expected he was great. Good luck with the next step

[UMBC @UMBC]

UMBC PUNCHED ITS TICKET TO THE NCAA TOURNEY 🔥

In the Retrievers' last appearance in 2018, they became the first 16-seed ever to beat a 1-seed 😮

[The Field of 68 @TheFieldOf68]

DJ Armstrong Jr WENT BALLISTIC against Vermont to secure @UMBC_MBB's bid to the NCAA Tournament!!

[Jason Fein @jfein]

Thanks for the love, @DickieV !

My 2025 America East All-Tournament Team:

DJ Armstrong (UMBC)
Ace Valentine (UMBC)
Jose Roberto Tanchyn (UMBC)
TJ Long (Vermont)
Gus Yalden (Vermont)

Would’ve made a change or two but as always these are due at the U4.

[Bruce Hamburger @CoachBruceHam]

One of the best guys in the business as well. Good to see the good guys get rewarded.

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

Jim Ferry can really, really coach.

Has been successful at Plymouth State, Adelphi, LIU and now UMBC.

Hell of a hire from former coach Brian Barrio.
